See "Guide to the Tables" or "Glossary" for
further explanations of the terms used in this table. Both can be accessed
from the CBECS web site - http://www.eia.gov/consumption/commercial/.* Figures in this table do not
include enclosed malls and strip malls. Mall buildings add an estimated 213
thousand buildings comprising 6.9 billion square feet.a The
definition for one or more of these row items has changed and may not be
directly comparable with past CBECS estimates. See "Guide to the
Tables" for discussion of the differences.
Q=Data withheld because the Relative Standard Error (RSE) was greater than
50 percent, or fewer than 20 buildings were sampled.
N=No responding cases in sample.

Notes:
● HVAC = Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. ● Due to
rounding, data may not sum to totals.
